2 killed in school shooting in Philippines’ Zamboanga

Two individuals lost their lives in a school shooting that occurred at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University campus in Zamboanga City, Philippines on Tuesday. The assailant, a high school student, began the attack by opening fire on a teacher before targeting a fellow student, who succumbed to his injuries. The suspect then turned the gun on himself, ending the attack.

The incident was captured on video using a body-worn camera, according to officials. Two other people were injured in the attack. The university president, Ernald Andal, confirmed that there were no further fatalities or injuries and that the university was in coordination with authorities to provide additional details. This incident is the latest in a series of school shootings in the Philippines, following an attack in Tacloban City in June where at least three students were killed and twenty others were injured.
